Some recent enhancements introduced in C-ImmSim, a simulator of the immune system response that has been developing for a number of years are described along with preliminary results produced by the simulation of the Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy in HIV-1 infected patients.
Abstract
We describe some recent enhancements introduced in C-ImmSim, a simulator of the immune system response that we have been developing for a number of years along with preliminary results produced by the simulation of the Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy in HIV-1 infected patients.

Immunology and MicrobiologyMedicineBiochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology
ScienceTwo-Photon Imaging of Lymphocyte Motility and Antigen Response in Intact Lymph Node
1,195 Citations2002Mark J. Miller, Sindy H. Wei +2 more
Using two-photon laser microscopy to image the dynamic behavior of individual living lymphocytes deep within intact lymph nodes reveals lymphocyte behaviors that are fundamental to the initiation of the immune response.
Annals of Internal MedicineImmunopathogenic Mechanisms of HIV Infection
507 Citations1996Anthony S. Fauci, Giuseppe Pantaleo +2 more
The mechanisms operable in an appropriate immune response to HIV, particularly activation of the immune system, are paradoxically the same mechanisms that propagate HIV infection and lead to the ultimate destruction of lymphoid tissue and to profound immunosuppression.
Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesAutonomous T cell trafficking examined <i>in vivo</i> with intravital two-photon microscopy
492 Citations2003Mark J. Miller, Sindy H. Wei +2 more
The results call into question the role of chemokine gradients for basal T cell trafficking within T cell areas and suggest that antigen detection may result from a stochastic process through which a random walk facilitates contact with antigen-presenting dendritic cells.
Immunology TodayA computer model of cellular interactions in the immune system
268 Citations1992Franco Celada, P. E. Seiden
This article presents a model that, they suggest, is rich enough to allow computer experiments to be used as practical adjuncts to the usual biological experiments, at a saving of cost and time.
Computers in Biology and MedicineDesign and implementation of an immune system simulator
137 Citations2001Massimo Bernaschi, Filippo Castiglione
A simulator (PARIMM) of the IS response which has been carefully designed and coded to allow large-scale simulations (millions of cells with a very high degree of complexity) and is among the most complete simulators of the immune system developed up today.
Statistics in MedicineMODELS FOR THE INCUBATION OF AIDS AND VARIATIONS ACCORDING TO AGE AND PERIOD
83 Citations1996Álvaro Muñoz, JANE XU
It is found that the older the age at seroconversion, the shorter the time to AIDS, and that the incubation of AIDS in calendar periods where treatment has been widely administered has been significantly longer among individuals with low CD4 cell counts.
AIDS Research and Human RetrovirusesMutation, Fitness, Viral Diversity, and Predictive Markers of Disease Progression in a Computational Model of HIV Type 1 Infection
51 Citations2004Filippo Castiglione, Fabrizio Poccia +2 more
A computational model of HIV infection able to simulate the natural history of the disease and to test predictive parameters of disease progression found that HIV-1 accumulates "bit" mutations mainly in the peptide sequences recognized by cytotoxic CD8 T cells, indicating that cell-mediated immunity plays a major role in viral control.
